The Children's Garden

The Children's Garden is a truly magical and special place for little ones to grow, develop and learn. The team are supportive, communicative and really care about each individual child. Our little one started around 18 months old and she's absolutely thriving. Her speech and confidence has come on leaps and bounds in a short space of time! We love the Montessori approach and how it empowers their independence and learning in a natural manner and environment. The team take time to plan and curate engaging activities each week that expose the children to lots of different tasks, senses and experiences. They are great at informing parents of what they've been up to, often sharing pictures and anecdotes too. The facilities and outdoor space is nothing like anything we'd seen before from other nurseries in the area. It's a wonderful place for children to spend their time. There was no question in our mind about picking TCG after our first visit. Getting registered and setup with paperwork, finances, the app etc was very streamlined and efficient. The office and admin team are always on hand for questions and matters get resolved quickly and professionally. The team are always understanding and work with the parents to ensure little ones are happy and feel comfortable. It feels more like a little family than a nursery setting. We'd recommend TCG to anyone in search of a fantastic nursery.

Our little girl has come to The Children's Garden from around 13 months old and I can honestly say she's loved it from day one. From a parent's perspective everything feels so well organised, the application and joining process is clear and well thought through, finances are managed efficiently and the admin team are always friendly and helpful. If she has ever been unwell everything is managed very professionally and kindly. Every day for the kids is very fulfilling and there's lots of thought and planning into activities. There is a real focus on Montessori learning and we are always so impressed with the things she has learned or been able to do. Forest school is a real must, it fosters so much independence, it is so hands on, even making their own food on the campfire!

All 3 of my babies have attended this nursery from around 10 months through to stating school. We never even needed to visit another nursery, this was for us. The spaces are all so lovely and the Montessori aspect has been invaluable to teaching our children so many skills. The staff genuinely care for the children and want to help them learn and progress. This isn’t just a nursery filled with plastic toys to occupy the children. The staff create weekly and daily learning experiences, something I never expected. And the outside space - nothing else like it around. They have their own forest with zip lines, camp fires, practice using tools and learn so much. The confidence and knowledge this has given my children is amazing and I wish I could spend all day here too. It feels more like a family than a basic nursery where we as parents also feel included and cared for and supported. Thank you x

As soon as we visited The Children's Garden we knew we couldn't send our children anywhere else. The environment is absolutely stunning - classrooms, gardens and woodland on a huge footprint to support indoor and outdoor activities, exploration and learning. The ethos is respectful of the children, fosters independence, and encourages self learning, with the opportunities for children to lean into their interests and explore the activities that they're unfamiliar with. The staff are thoughtful, supportive, experienced, and skilled. I couldn't recommend it more.

One of if not the best early years setting in Norwich. Both daughters go here and it is an exceptional environment with wonderful staff to match. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for - it is worth every penny
